L.Paqueta hits the ground running at loan club

Catharis fans will have been delighted to hear that Lucas Paqueta is developing well after the manager Santa Monica sent him on a short-week loan away from the club this week. The midfielder scored a valuable 13 points for his temporary side.

Bench boost delight for Bat man

“Bench Boost” substitutes J.Timber, Enzo, Keane and Dubravka claimed 20 points in a league-topping 58-point gameweek for Bat man’s Emefiele Tactics. - “Great use of the chip, atta boy!” said fan, Usman Sanusi.

Yusuf to play in champions league

Adedotun Yusuf will need a deep squad this season, with the Battlefield Tofunmi Memorial side also competing in the Elite Official FPL Top 1% league on the back of outstanding performances last season.

Meanwhile 12 other sides will be representing in the Top 10% league. Amaka United Regen fans will feel particularly unlucky to have missed out on the Top 1% league with a finish of 150,935 (1.31%) last year - a fact not lost on opposition fans in preseason games, who repeatedly taunted Dante’s side with chants of “Thursday night, Channel Five.”

The year of the Norse god

Everyone in the league owns Erling Haaland; water is wet.

The headlines

• Enzo Maresca leaves Chelsea: Callum McFarlane set to take temporary charge in gameweek 20 fixture vs Man City. 

• New year, new chips

• Maybe, put it in Rice?: “We don’t know yet. We have another session today [Friday]…” Mikel Arteta on Declan Rice’s swollen knee. 

• Minteh Ok: Yankuba Minteh’s scan came back “OK”. 

• Looking for a cheap striker that ain’t DCL?: Since the start of November, Igor Jesus has racked up 30 shots, the most of any player except Erling Haaland (£15.1m) and Matheus Cunha (£8.1m).

• “Should have scored” frustrations: Arsenal players have scored 1 goal from their last 10.16 (xG); Aston Villa players have scored 9 goals from their last 3.64 (xG).

Best Captain for gameweek 20

Chelsea - without Enzo Maresca and with a suspended Moises Caicedo - against the Norse god? No chance. Erling Haaland gets our armband.

We are back again - checks calendar - Monday, ahead of gameweek 21.

Good luck in gameweek 20!
